February 27, 2019

On the International Day of Organ Transplantation, Casa Rosada woke up with a gigantography of the girl who died in 2017 while she was waiting for a heart transplant.

From the social networks of the government, the why the decision to hang gigantografía in the picture of Justina Lo Cane:

"The pink house Today shows on its facade a flag with the face of Justina Lo Cane in tribute to all organ donors, their families, health professionals and the Incucai who have saved thousands of lives to date. #TodosSomosDonantes

Justina died on November 22, 2017 at the age of 12 while she was in the hospital, waiting for a heart that has never come . During the hospitalization, her parents launched a campaign on social networks to encourage organ donation.

The Justina law was regulated and applied for the first time in Rio Negro https://t.co/flwlrdqqVV

The campaign generated registration registrations across the country and raised awareness of the need to simplify the donation process. At that time, in Argentina, more than 10,000 people were waiting for a transplant and gave only 13 inhabitants in a million.

In July 2018 The Chamber of Deputies approved the new law regulating the transplantation of organs and tissues called "Ley Justina". A month ago, Incucai announced that 2954 people had received organs or tissue last year. A historic brand of donors and transplant recipients for the country ".
